Egg-O-Naut C

[andrewwski]

Read the rules. They describe the entire thing. Or go to the wiki...that will describe it in general as well.

Actually, if you had even read the thread you would probably have a pretty good idea.

It involves launching an egg on top of a rocket powered by water and compressed air ("water rocket" or "bottle rocket") and getting the egg to return safely to the ground while staying aloft the longest.

what do u do in the egg-o-naut thing? i dont have it but just wondering. is that that thing where u get to drop the thing from up high and see if it breaks?

Did you know that everytime someone posts on a thread without reading it a puppy dies so thanks Lolbubbles that's +1 dead puppies

sounds cool..we didnt have that in our rules packet tho

this event is starting to pigeon me off. i used to do Bottle Rockets in Div B, but I'm slowly finding that this event is sorta different. the egg presents a huge dilemma, in terms of spacing. 1 liter bottles dont help either

Does anyone have any design ideas for how to build their egg-o-naut? How will you be-able to get it to detach?

Gravity.

What's the best way to get the egg to detach from the bottle rocket because that gains you points.. right?

[freeman]

The word gravity isn't enough help to design a whole rocket.

Don't attach it in the first place. Let gravity do its work.
